The month of October is a very busy one for the North Cobb Band. This means there are numerous opportunities to help chaperone our students for practice, football games and competitions. If you attended Chaperone Training, you should be receiving emails for different times that you are needed. Please find at least one time in this next month to help us out. We especially need help with weekday practice and the extra practices on October 3rd, and October 23rd. The season is passing by quickly and we encourage you to come and enjoy spending time with these wonderful kids!

Fee Payment

All fees should be paid in full By Thursday, October 1, 2015.

We have many outstanding accounts at this time.

If you have not received a current statement or you have any questions, please email finance@nchsband.com .

There are 3 options for payments.

-Your student may place a payment in the secured lockbox at the back of the band room

To make sure we can provide bottled water for all of our students, we are asking that each student donate a flat of bottled water to be used for the students at games, and competitions. The month of October is very busy with games, competitions and exhibitions, so we need a lot of water to help us make it through. We will be giving a due date for each section to bring the water since we have a storage issue. We are requesting;

16.9 FL oz. bottles

A flat of 24 count or greater

Any brand of bottled water

This week is Percussion section. Please bring to the band room by October 6th.

Thank you for supporting the North Cobb High School Marching Band!

Please let one of the directors know if your student is interested in the GHP (Governor's Honor Program) as soon as possible. This is a great opportunity for your student.

BOOSTER MEETINGS

Please consider coming out to the monthly booster meetings. It is a great way to stay plugged in and keep informed. It is also a great way to get to know other parents as well as those heading up the different committees.

The next meeting will be held on Monday, October 5th at 7:00

RAFFLE TICKETS

Keep selling those raffle tickets and remember to turn them in with your Student's name on the envelope so we know who to credit the sale to.

Tickets are due in October! Please hand in even the ones that you have not sold.

Remember that your student receives $8.00 per ticket sold above and beyond the first book of 10.

The matrix is updated once a week and posted on the practice room window as you walk into the band room.
